All Your E-Commerce Sites Belong To Amazon?
from the the-e-commerce-borg dept
An occasionally rambling Washington Post article looks at what people look for in e-commerce sites, and finds that, basically, people want what Amazon gives them. Thus, it's no surprise that more and more retailers are simply turning to Amazon to build and run their e-commerce operations for them. While some people don't like this, I think it's not a bad idea. The simple fact is that the Amazon shopping experience has been consistently better than other e-commerce sites for many years. They always seem to be ahead of the curve in making the online shopping experience more useful and enjoyable. So, I have no problem if plenty of other companies offer a similar experience.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: Ahead Of The Curve?
However, this doesn't go against the main point of the argument that Amazon consistently offers a better online shopping experience.
Theodp, you clearly have something against Amazon, since you submit plenty of stories that all trash Amazon. Could you please share your bias, and explain why you hate them so much?
